Soap opera actors Katie McGlynn and Max Bowen were spotted sharing a passionate kiss while on tour together, causing some discomfort for Katie’s ex, Ricky Rayment, following their recent breakup. Katie, 32, and Max, 30, are co-stars in the play “Murder at Midnight” and have been seen displaying affection in public. Katie, known for her role as Sinead Tinker in “Coronation Street,” split from Ricky, a TOWIE star, in July, emphasizing their intent to remain friends.
The kiss between Katie and Max has been challenging for Ricky to witness, as per a source. Despite the situation, Ricky wishes Katie well but finds it tough to see her moving on so quickly. Katie and Ricky ended their two-year relationship, removing all traces of each other from social media. Speculation about engagement between them was dismissed by Katie during their first joint interview.
Actor Max has a history of dating co-stars, including EastEnders’ Shona McGarty and Danielle Harold. His previous relationship with actress and director Tori Allen-Martin ended after six months. Katie and Max, both familiar faces in the soap world, have been spending time together during the tour, sparking curiosity about their future relationship.
